Biography
Seyh Abdurrahman Alagöz was born in 1995 to a Sunni Muslim Turkish family in Adiyaman, a city north of Turkey's border with Syria. Alagöz sympathized with the Islamic State, a terrorist group that controlled an amount of land in Syria and Iraq larger than the European country of Belgium.

In 2015, Alagöz bombed a community center in the Kurdish district of the city of Suruc on the border with Syria, taking his own life along with those of 32 others. 104 people were wounded in the suicide bombing, which was the first planned Islamic State attack in Turkey. Although the perpetrator was initially thought to be an 18-year-old female sympathizer of IS who learned of Recep Tayyip Erdogan's plans to invade Syria at a press conference, Alagöz's ID card was found at the scene and DNA tests suggested that he was responsible for the attack.
